The team evaluates, certifies, integrates, and supports a broad range of infrastructure technologies, including hardware platforms, hypervisors, Linux operating systems, system configuration tooling, critical infrastructure services, automation platforms, load balancing, high availability solutions, and virtualization management technologies. The team plays a key role in enabling DevOps practices by delivering real time APIs and automation capabilities that support infrastructure as code patterns and provide backend integrations that translate desired state into reliable production outcomes. We are seeking a skilled and experienced engineer to join the Platform Engineering team. This role will focus on integrating, testing, securing, and improving multiple infrastructure codebases, with a particular emphasis on vulnerability remediation, code hardening, automated validation, and safe production rollouts. This is not a role focused solely on implementing predefined fixes. We are looking for a self-starter who can operate effectively within a complex engineering environment. The successful candidate will need to understand distributed systems, assess the broader impact of security related changes, design robust remediation approaches, and produce stable, maintainable, and secure code. They will also be expected to define test strategies, validate changes in nonproduction environments, and support production deployments while minimizing risk and operational impact. Responsibilities * Work across multiple infrastructure and automation codebases to remediate identified security vulnerabilities. * Design, implement, and validate secure, stable, and maintainable code changes. * Integrate vendor, open source, and internally developed solutions into enterprise infrastructure platforms. * Develop and maintain automation using Python and related technologies. * Build and improve Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines, automated testing coverage, and release validation processes. * Create test plans and validation procedures for security related code and configuration changes. * Use lab and preproduction environments to validate complex changes prior to production deployment. * Collaborate with engineering, operations, security, and application teams to assess impact and drive remediation efforts. * Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, documentation, and technical planning activities. * Contribute to continuous improvements in platform reliability, security, and engineering practices. ## Related Videos - [Unleashing Potential Across Teams: The Power of Infrastructure as Code](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/930-unleashing-potential-across-teams-the-power-of-infrastructure-as-code) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
